Sant Joan Municipal Market

The Mercat Municipal de Sant Joan sits at Gran Via de Lluís Companys, 129, a few streets back from the seafront. It is a working neighbourhood market rather than a showpiece: fifteen stalls under one roof, all of them food, and no gift or souvenir trade to walk past. Being indoors, it is wheelchair accessible throughout, and rain makes no difference to a visit.

Stalls take cash, contactless cards and mobile payments. To compare it with the town's other options, see the street markets in Premià de Mar.

Fish and seafood counters trade a few streets back from the shore, and alongside them you'll find butchers selling meat and poultry, greengrocers with fruit and vegetables, a cheese and dairy counter, and bread and bakery. Those six lines are the whole of what the hall sells: it is a food market and nothing else.

With only fifteen stalls the hall takes ten minutes to walk end to end, so it is easy to price the same thing at two counters before buying.

Staying near the seafront puts you a short walk from both the market and the beach. Try Town Centre for the most convenient base, or Seafront if you want to be closer to the water. If local availability is thin, Mataró and El Masnou are both on the same R1 line.

The address is Gran Via de Lluís Companys, 129, 08330 Premià de Mar. From Barcelona, take the Rodalies R1 line along the coast to Premià de Mar station and walk up from the seafront. By car, leave the C-32 at the Premià de Mar exit. To check a stall or an order before you travel, the market can be reached on +34 937 525 010.
